Inky Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 being banned is sorta bumming me out. I've been looking forward to SFIIHD for so long now.... SFIV will have to do I guess, but thats still 3 or more months away.
gavin19 Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Anybody know if M$ will add their full install for the new dash on the xbox 360 site?I mean the full install with the avataar feature and divx codecs? The full NXE has been uploaded to various places but it won't have the divx codecs, that is gone forever for you it seems. If you know someone with the NXE installed then you can just remove their HDD and attach it to your 360, then it will prompt you to update. You can set up the avatar too if you want on your friend's 360 then transfer the HDD over. What's the point in the avatars if you can't go on Live anyway? Or more to the point, what's the point of the avatars altogether?

gavin19 Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 I took my HDD to my nephews and did an avatar over there, but on my 360 it still comes up as a shadow and says I need to download the update.. I read on X-S that this was possible too. They are very limited anyway. The NXE was all about being able to install the games to HDD for me. It is a better dash overall I guess. Still can't even queue up video files though? Wtf?
Inky Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I'm going back to tversity to transcode my files on the fly. like I used to do it before avi support. my wired/wireless network is being a biatch though, half the time my xbox will see the computer but be unable to connect to the files.
Inky Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 one of teh guys I work with is willing to buy my banned box and some games for $250. He is fully aware of the ban but he doesn't care. I don't know if I'll do it though, I'd still need to pony another 50 plus tax for a new one and I know damn well I'll end up modding it again perhaps getting caught on the next banwagon. I'll have to look up how easy the newest drives are to mod....... and maybe stop playing pre-release review copies.

Maybe an extra $50, but think of the small fortune you have saved on games, not to mention all the fun you had playing backups online. The ban waves seem to be annual, so if you get another year for $50 I'd jump at it.
Inky Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 the guy wants to write me a check and come get it this morning. I guess I'm gonna do it but I still need to know what Drives are coming in new boxes. edit: it seems the new 60gb 360's come with a Lite-on drive that isn't hackable at this time. leaving me with only a refurbished crap shoot as a option. I suppose with a 1 year store warrenty I could keep taking 360's back until I get what I need.
Inky Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I hit the jackpot on the first try, got a good working 360 with a samsung ms-28, hacked and I am back in business.

It seems that most people think it was any releases from SEED4ME. the review copies of saints row 2, fallout 3, and a few others.

Yeah well all those games have legit retail versions out now so you can grab them again. I didn't touch any of those Seed4Me releases, just didn't feel right. Maybe it helped me dodge a ban that time. Edited November 27, 2008 by gavin19
